So many people give the Wii flack for shovelware. putting aside the fact that 80% of those aren't published by Nintendo, putting aside that the Kinect has even less to show for itself if we look at percentages, and putting aside all 3 multiplatform games the Wii got like the Call of Duty games. I'm curious as to how many of you have played some of these great titles that have been releaced over the last 12 months. I'm guilty of passing some of these by myself.

Reply with any games on the list you bothered to play

Super Mario Galaxy 2: 10 (Count: 4)

Fluidity: 8.5 (Count: 2)

Donkey Kong Country Returns: 8.5 (Count: 3)

Goldeneye 007: 8.5 (Count: 2)

Kirby's Epic Yarn: 8.5 (Count:2)

Metroid: Other M: 8.5 (Count: 2)

Bit Trip Runner: 8.5 (Count:2)

Sin and Punishment: Star Successor: 8.5 (Count:1 )

Monster Hunter Tri: 8.5 (Count: 3)

De Blob 2: 7.0 (Count: 0)


---------------------------------------------

I'm not saying these games are for everybody. hell I would be hard pressed to select Kirby's Epic Yarn over MvC3: FTW myself. but the point is that there are plenty of good games to play. the unhealthy obsession with numbers 8.0 or above and the focus on shovelware that Nintendo isen't responsible for is just dumb when you really look at what their is. I'm not saying its sufficiant, or that it has surpassed its status as a secondary console...but there is little reason for any dust gathering

---------------------------------------------


TL;DR: 7.0 is still called a "Good" game. Shovelware dosen't matter, don't buy it and the Wii is still secondary at best

PS: I will doubtless get some sheep calls. DSS_64 on PSN...last game played was MvC3. I have platinums in all three god of war titles, Tekken 6 andAssassin's Creed 2

DSS64 on XBL. Silver member who hasen't been online in awhile

As a Wii owner I keep an eye on the releases all the time, but I just haven't seen a single thing that makes me want to buy at full price anymore when I have every other platform. Good Wii games are like little fish in a big sea compared to the competition alternatives.

I would take 80% of those titles over the next COD. personal opinion FTW. this topic is going off scores dubbed "Good" by gamespot and upwards. in other words, 7.0 to 10 and the link has nothing to do with this topic

It's way different then the DS version.Itdoesn't have a big emphasison story compared to the DS version, there are more color powers in the Wii version and the Wii version is a combination of 3D and 2D environments while the DS version is only 3D in bosses if I recall.

I have all of those except for De Blob 2, Fluidity, and Bit Trip Runner. I've been meaning to get a points card, and once I do, I'll be getting Fluidity and some of the Bit Trip games.

i own those and more lol its to bad fanboys wont agree ,

heck its appearent they like the shovel ware when sony does it , but ms or nintendo lead the pack and the devs back them up they dont care ,

to bad sales will never agree with ps3 fans cause sales and quality isnt on their side appearently ,

ms and nintendo prove to much for sony to handle even with psp so called leading japan sales last week if we added ds to that total of 3ds nintendo walks away in that dept ,

and nintendo has a 40 m sales lead over its closest advasary lol

that and wii has seen software sales more then of the competition

and nintendo makes profit on 3ds ds wii lol 3ds alone gives nintendo 150 dollars per unit sold add games and accessories lol forget it , thats the most important aspect for the company is profit , if sony isnt making any ,, their in trouble!

3ds can stay in 2nd in sales overall if that happened nintendo still makes profit , , !!!! theyll be here regardless

redundant. this is discussing System Warriors, who are well aware of the majority of titles

If the wii had a somewhat better library nobody would care about shovelware, that's how things roll over here look Heroes on the move, not even lems make fun of it, because of the better lineup the ps3 has against the 360 I like the wii though, good system, but I like the others more

SMG2 ~ Fantastic game. Haven't got that far into it (3D Mario has never been my thing) but it is easily the most well-made and varied Mario in the history of Mario.
DKCR ~ One of the best games I've played this gen. Retro mopped the floor with Rare's efforts in one iteration.
KEY ~ One of the best art styIes of the gen. SUPER cute, but way too easy with no real reason to progress.
MOM ~ Shameful attempt at a "Metroid" game. Pretty decent as a game, but well under Nintendo's standards for their games and the Metroid series. Sakamoto needs to get his head out of his ass.

I think most of SW is just falling for the hype of mainstream games or just don't game enough to try to play great games on all the consoles. All of them have great games, you just have to put in a little effort and time to play them.

I have seen a lot of advertisements for them.

Here are the advertisments

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Goldeneye 007

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Metroid: Other M

Monster Hunter Tri

de Blob 2

All those advertisments played on American tv. I've seen most of them atleast 20 times on TV.

The only 2 games on that list I didn't see advertisements for are Fluidity and Bit Trip Runner and that is because they are Wiiware titles.

Wii had a fantastic 2010, it's funny how people seemed to forget that once 2011 came about. Also Bit.Trip Runner is multiplatform, as it's available on Steam.

I have 25 Wii games and I only have 2 of them. 25 is the most games I ever had for a console.

Edit* That I can remember I probably had more 2600 or NES games but for 2600 games they were really cheap because we got ours after the videogame crash of 83.

Its funny how none of those games needs the wiis gimmicky control scheme and often play better without it. Just further proof that nintendo could have spent time making a better console instead of these motion controls.

I think its more to do with not meeting the main needs of gamers. I think a lot of people got wowed into getting a Wii not quite realising I mean how would you that it cant or will not provide the games that appeal to the majority of game players. Its not the consumers fault Nintendo are not providing the games they want dude.
